Michio Kaku, a scientist examines the future in his book Visions. Kaku proposed scientists are more accurate predictors of the future due to their knowledge of scientific laws. He also states scientists are creators of the technology that will make up the future while others, such as writers and sociologist, are consumers of such technology (pg 5). The significance of this work is contained in the hope of determining the direction of our society accurately by applying scientific laws and revolutions already being used. By using the fundamental laws scientist have already uncovered such as the quantum theory of matter, Einstein's theory of space time, the Big Bang theory of cosmology, the Darwinian theory of evolution and the molecular basis of DNA and life (pg 9), science will expand from great ideas of nature to a level of understanding and mastering nature.
Kaku, a physicist himself, also worked with more than 150 other scientists to insure integrity into his work Visions. Working from the known to the unknown one can easily follow and analyze Kaku's logic. First, focusing the three pillars of modern science, matter, life, and the mind, the author states other great scientific revolutions are now in place. These are the quantum revolution, the computer revolution, and the biomolecular revolution. By the convergence of these principles, synergy is created. As one analyzes the past, looking to the future, one will see the end of reductionism. The twentieth century has been a time of "reducing everything to it smallest component" (pg 10). The ability to break down components in nature and understand then will lead to a new revolution, synergy. The quantum theory, which was established in the 1950's, has given rise to other revolutions: the computer revolution and the biomolecular revolution. It is the author's belief that by combining and mixing these revolutions a new powerful tool has been created that will guide man" s ability to alter "matter life and intelligence" in the future (pg 12).
Author of the novel Science of the Impossible, Michio Kaku, describes how technologies such as force fields could completely change the way civilization exists. ... The research on just this one example has been long and tedious, as Michio Kaku describes, the research for force fields initiated in the nineteenth century and continues to not be completed. ...
"Global warming is controversial, of course, but the controversy is mainly over whether human activity is driving it" (Kaku). What Michio Kaku is trying to say is that we are still not completely sure if global warming is completely a man made phenomenon. ...
The worlds of marble and wood left me feeling stranded halfway through a long tunnel. Trying to grasp the concepts of higher dimensions left me feeling more like a coy out of water than one still trapped in the pond. The concepts discussed in "Part 1: Entering the Fifth Dimension,"" in Hyperspace,...
"By studying a tiny strand of fiber, we cannot possibly understand an entire tapestry," (Kaku 321). ... "The Schrodinger's cat paradox shows that they have simply chosen to ignore the deeper, philosophical questions," (Kaku 320). ... (Kaku 273) A unified theory would be perfection; it would be the single greatest achievement for all time. ...

The Purpose of Business It has become apparent that the accepted view of the role of corporations in society is evolving, and necessarily so. This is especially true after the recent corporate scandals in the USA involving multinational companies whose names have become commonplace in discussions of corporate fraud; such as Enron and Worldcom. (In fact, it was recently reported that a U.S. Senator had used one of these names as a verb; i.e.; to "enron" shareholders.) Corporate ethics and the role of business in society is under public scrutiny perhaps more than ever before in modern histor...
Clouded Vision In Shakespeare's classic tragedy, King Lear, the issue of sight and its significance to clouded vision is a recurring theme. ... Prior to Gloucester losing his eyes, his vision was very much like Lear's. ... As a result, Gloucester is spared and his vision is cleared, while Cornwall is left a victim of his own faulty vision. ... Gloucester's vision can be contrasted with that of Lear. ... While Lear portrays a lack of vision, Gloucester learns that clear vision does not come from physical sight by ones eyes, but rather than inside ones heart. ...
